Determinants of the lodging density of Triatoma infestans, vector of Chagas unwellness


In 2 heavily overrun rural villages of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, wherever no indoor‐spraying with residual pesticides had ever been meted out by official management services, we tend to studied the influence of roof and wall structure, domestic use of insect powder, family size and also the range of pups, on the lodging density of Triatoma infestans (Klug).


Bug density was considerably related to (1) the interaction between insect powder use and kind of roof, (2) the structure of indoor walls, (3) the amount of dogs sharing sleeping areas of individuals (room‐mate dogs), and (4) the amount of individuals and room‐mate dogs, however not with simply the amount of individuals resident within the house.

The interaction between insect powder use and a roof manufactured from ‘simbol’, a domestically accessible grass (Pennisetum sp.), additionally mirrored a younger age structure of domestic bug populations. In overrun homes, the density of bugs infected with Trypanosoma cruzi Chagas was considerably related to with overall bug density.


Our knowledge counsel that the appliance of environmental management measures by the affected folks, like application of walls and modification of roofs, including keeping dogs removed from bedrooms and application of pesticides, ought to limit the domestic population density of T.infestans and therefore scale back the transmission of T.cruzi to folks.
